If you want to go the PERL route (and it's not a bad route to go), you don't need to install Cygwin. Indeed, I've never liked that environment. You can get a version of PERL that's native to Win32, called
Active PERL. Now that I'm looking at the page, it appears they have other "active" langauges, like Python and Ruby, which is interesting... Anyway, if you're looking to install Perl for your Windows system, I highly recommend this one! This is the version of PERL that I use, before I learned Ruby...
Which brings me to my next topic, have you considered something a little more powerful than even PERL, like Python or Ruby? I prefer Ruby myself, so I'll advocate that, but Python is just as powerful so I can't fault you for choosing it.
Just giving you some options...
